The US is a circus of white supremacy. The violence of today rooted in the violence of yesterday, a thru line from our foundation in settler colonialism to economic gains based upon slavery to this moment. Our domestic violence is exported as war profiteering and a foreign policy rooted in constant interventions. A repeating cycle of violence with the goal of resource extraction, resource theft. It is fundamental to America.

Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn (Official Video) - YouTube

Smoke and mirrors, stripes and stars Stolen for the cross in the name of God Bloodshed, genocide, rape and fraud

@Denny Glad to find someone else who appreciates Brother Ali!

@jabel I'd never heard of him until today, will be listening to more!

@Denny I think you’ll like him. A lot of his most political stuff is from the Dubya “war on terror” era, which was politically formative for me so I resonate with it. He seems to be a bit less active now.

@jabel @Denny He has a pretty interesting background too.

Of course, I always pair the track you chose with Run The Jewels - JU$T.

@patrickrhone Yes! RTJ is another great recommendation. My "kill your masters" t-shirt has provoked a couple of questions over the past few years.

@patrickrhone @jabel Ah! Interesting. Thanks for the links! I noticed that the YouTube I linked to was from 2007 and as I listened I had that historical context in mind.
